[00:00:00] the time when
[00:00:01] Unfortunately, house directly so that no one could leave UNRWA warned of the danger of famine and that
[00:00:05] a large percentage of citizens do not get self-sufficiency
[00:00:09] from food or even through food parcels that they receive
[00:00:12] from international
[00:00:37] and its establishment in the handover of the body of
[00:00:39] the martyr Alaa Sabah from the village of Tayasir? Details of this topic
[00:00:52] Come to where you left off regarding for the purposes specified in the handover of the body of
[00:00:54] the martyr Alaa Sobeih from the village of
[00:00:58] the area between Rabat Tayasir, who was killed by the bullets of settler gangs.
[00:01:00] The settlement outpost that
[00:01:03] the first Zionist conference in Basel, was established between the villages of Aqaba and Tayasir to the northeast of
[00:01:07] the city of Tubas about three
[00:01:09] months ago. It was supposed that the occupation authorities would hand over
[00:01:13] the body at 11 o'clock, but
[00:01:18] teams the occupation procedures always and centrality, hinder the handover process,
[00:01:21] and the occupation procrastinates in the handover process. And now
[00:01:24] the matter has moved to
[00:01:28] partition. Meanwhile, the more than 20 families from this the handover process at 5 o'clock this afternoon,
[00:01:31] Come to success. and therefore there are arrangements and procedures
[00:01:33] for receiving the body of the martyr Alaa Sobeih, who, as we mentioned,
[00:01:37] was killed about three
[00:01:41] unable to stand the governorate. What are the months ago by the bullets of settler gangs, who always
[00:01:45] that extend to this launch attacks against the villages of Aqaba and Tayasir to
[00:01:47] the northwest of Then, after the handover process,
[00:01:51] his pure body will be transferred to the Turkish government hospital
[00:01:56] as you can see in the of Tubas, and then to
[00:01:58] the Mandate on our lands. his hometown, where the village of Tayasir is located
[00:02:01] to the northeast of the city of Tubas, to be buried
[00:02:06] place under the protection and guard of in the village cemetery. So, the settler gangs have not calmed down since
[00:02:10] resolution, that time, meaning three months before the martyrdom of
[00:02:13] carried out by the occupation army in Alaa Sobeih in the village of Tayasir,
[00:02:18] reach except after a long Governorate, extending to the southwestern the settlement process in that region began and intensified, through the spread of
[00:02:21] settlement outposts. And this is the second axis that we want to
[00:02:25] Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron. talk about now, through the northern Jordan Valley,
[00:02:29] where extreme settlement associations are currently
[00:02:32] completing the fencing of vast
[00:02:36] areas, starting from the Tayasir checkpoint,
[00:02:38] They are expanding and attacking as we mentioned,
[00:02:40] the field. Greetings to you and goodbye. where the martyr Alaa Sobeih was killed, by fencing
[00:02:44] and a partition plan with these lands, up to
[00:02:44] which led to Hammamat or the village of Hammamat
[00:02:47] al-Maleh in the northern
[00:02:49] al-Tarawi. On May Jordan Valley. We are talking about vast areas, thousands of dunams,
[00:02:52] whether pastoral or agricultural, and the most common are
[00:02:55] pastoral areas that are being fenced and the fencing is being completed by
[00:03:00] settlement associations. Every time the so-called
[00:03:03] Israeli Supreme Court issues
[00:03:11] to complete its evacuation on to dual violations by a decision that prohibits, for example, the fencing of lands owned by our people,
[00:03:13] here about the Israeli violations stop at arresting or demolition operations in residential areas in the northern Jordan Valley, the
[00:03:18] the Jewish leaders settlement associations, supported
[00:03:19] its work in by
[00:03:20] the kibbutzim and its belief in the extremist Tel Aviv government, immediately respond by fencing additional areas of
[00:03:24] land, as if they are contradicting
[00:03:28] the decision of the Israeli Supreme Court, and demolition operations are
[00:03:31] carried out by settler gangs
[00:03:35] and settlement associations
[00:03:37] stated under the protection of the occupation army and occupation police and the
[00:03:41] crews from performing their so-called civil administration. Large and massive
[00:03:44] populated area. Two people settlement projects are being implemented in the northern
[00:03:48] Palestinian population centers Jordan Valley through the construction of the military
[00:03:51] road that separates the northern Jordan Valley from
[00:03:55] its geographical surroundings. We are talking about destruction
[00:03:58] Council determines that such and targeting of the agricultural it was in their interest to sector. Losses are estimated
[00:04:02] at billions of shekels as a result of the demolition of plastic
[00:04:06] the houses. houses and agricultural projects,
[00:04:08] as well as the displacement of our
[00:04:11] the western people. Large communities in the Ras al-Ahmar area were
[00:04:14] displaced, and water lines were cut and agricultural wells were destroyed.
[00:04:17] entrusted to it in this Three wells were destroyed the General
[00:04:21] Assembly. In fact, the Soviet water from vast
[00:04:24] and 41 of areas of agricultural land. Also,
[00:04:27] there were 14,000 job opportunities provided by this
[00:04:31] area for our people in the agricultural sector. Today,
[00:04:35] these families and agricultural
[00:04:38] workers lost these jobs
[00:04:41] in that
[00:04:43] 39 of to besiege Qalandia area. We are talking about large agricultural companies
[00:04:46] in the plain of al-Baqi'a, Atouf, and Ras
[00:04:50] and stability in al-Ahmar that closed their doors
[00:04:53] refugee camp, northwest of occupied as a result of these settlement expansion and settler attacks.
[00:04:56] The situation reached the point where settlement outposts
[00:05:00] spread on the outskirts of the city of Tubas, where,
[00:05:03] citizens, establishing settlement behind me, in the plain of Tubas, some agricultural projects were moved
[00:05:05] from the targeted areas in the Jordan Valley to this area. This did not deter
[00:05:09] the settler gangs and settlement associations
[00:05:13] that pursue our people and pursue
[00:05:16] investors and owners of these lands on the outskirts of this city
[00:05:19] and carry out these attacks and these crimes in an attempt
[00:05:23] to pressure them to completely close
[00:05:26] these projects. As we said, the targeting
[00:05:29] of water. Without water, there is no agriculture
[00:05:32] and no survival and life in the northern
[00:05:35] Jordan Valley, and the settlement associations
[00:05:38] are fully aware of the importance of controlling water
[00:05:41] sources, springs, and destroying agricultural
[00:05:44] wells that are present and spread in the northern Jordan Valley
[00:05:48] and pumping large quantities of water
[00:05:51] to the settlements and settlement outposts that were recently
[00:05:54] established. Then comes the role of the occupation
[00:05:58] government in legalizing these settlement outposts
[00:06:00] and settlements, as happened in the settlement and outpost
[00:06:04] on the mountain of Tamoun, south of the city of Tubas, and also in
[00:06:10] and Aqaba in the western
[00:06:12] part of the city of Tubas. I mean,
[00:06:16] we are talking about a difficult reality, the spread of
[00:06:19] settlements, and we note
[00:06:22] that the body of the martyr Alaa Sobeih from the village of
[00:06:25] Tayasir will be handed over at 5
[00:06:40] about the occupation forces' arrest of four people, including a woman,
[00:06:43] and also the acceleration of the pace of settlement,
[00:06:47] coinciding with settler attacks in various areas of
[00:06:58] the viewers. We are talking here about Nablus Governorate, which is considered one of
[00:07:02] the most targeted governorates by the extremist government and settler
[00:07:05] militias that impose a reality based on the force of arms in Nablus
[00:07:09] Governorate, between raids and search and inspection campaigns
[00:07:12] and arrests, up to what the settler militias do in terms
[00:07:15] of organized state terrorism with full participation from the Israeli
[00:07:19] occupation army for these extremist gangs. We are talking about a wide
[00:07:22] arrest campaign this morning
[00:07:25] the northwestern region of Nablus
[00:07:29] region of the governorate, which led to the arrest of
[00:07:32] four citizens, including a woman from the village of Beit Imrin, located to the north
[00:07:36] of Nablus Governorate, where
[00:07:39] the occupation forces raided these villages and towns
[00:07:43] and caused destruction and ruin in the homes and property of citizens,
[00:07:47] as part of the policy of intimidation pursued by the occupation army against
[00:07:50] our people in Nablus Governorate, which is
[00:07:53] heavily targeted by the extremist government,
[00:07:56] in addition to what the occupation army did by subjecting
[00:08:00] citizens to field interrogation and abuse in the early
[00:08:03] hours of the morning, in addition to besieging homes and spreading fear
[00:08:07] and terror among children, women, and the elderly. We are talking about
[00:08:11] a policy that the occupation has recently adopted, where when it raids homes, it
[00:08:15] smashes doors, breaks windows, in addition to
[00:08:18] the contents of the homes, as part of a policy that does not
[00:08:23] the citizen, but rather makes them pay the price for smashing
[00:08:27] the contents of the homes and tampering with them by the Israeli occupation forces,
[00:08:30] in addition to brandishing weapons and subjecting citizens to
[00:08:34] field interrogation, where in some cases the occupation army
[00:08:37] deliberately subjects the detainee to field
[00:08:41] interrogation, then beats him, and then takes
[00:08:44] him to an unknown destination, in front of
[00:08:48] his family, who witnesses this terrorism carried out by
[00:08:51] this army, which has become today a primary partner in the attacks carried out by
[00:08:55] the extremist fanatics who carry out attacks successively on
[00:09:00] in Nablus Governorate, villages and towns, and establish outposts
[00:09:04] and expand existing settlements, as is the case in the town of
[00:09:07] Kafr Qalil, located to the southeast of Nablus Governorate, where
[00:09:10] a family from the Mansour family almost
[00:09:13] lost their lives due to the falling of huge stones
[00:09:17] from the settlement expansion operations carried out by settler gangs
[00:09:21] and the occupation authorities in
[00:09:24] area. And about
[00:09:28] an hour ago, we were preparing a report and we saw the stones that reached
[00:09:31] the vicinity of the house and caused damage to parts of the house.
[00:09:35] And we are talking here about very large rocks
[00:09:38] that the settlers deliberately threw at the citizens in the town of Kafr
[00:09:42] Qalil. As I told you, it was a matter of moments between life
[00:09:46] and death for this family that was present at the entrance of the house
[00:09:49] when the settler militias and the occupation forces fired
[00:09:53] these stones from the areas of expansion and excavation operations that
[00:09:56] are taking place in the settlement outpost that was recently established on the lands of the citizens.
[00:10:00] But I am talking about what is happening in the Nablus countryside, specifically
[00:10:04] the southern region, which has become a battlefield in every sense of the word,
[00:10:08] through the organized state terrorism carried out by extremist
[00:10:11] militias, burning homes, shooting at
[00:10:15] outposts adjacent to citizens' homes, where
[00:10:18] some settlement outposts are no more than tens of meters away from citizens'
[00:10:22] homes. These settlement outposts are launching pads for these
[00:10:25] extremist militias to burn homes, shoot at citizens, and assault
[00:10:29] them by beating
[00:10:32] them. All of this is accompanied by the securing of these
[00:10:36] attacks by the occupation army, which stands at an equal distance from these
[00:10:41] attacking our people in the context of targeting the Palestinian
[00:10:44] citizen in his land, in his home, in
[00:11:07] to reach this place, specifically in the Wadi al-A'war area south of the city of
[00:11:11] Hebron, where the Ghaith family woke up to the demolition of
[00:11:14] the house of citizen Hamza Ghaith completely,
[00:11:17] in addition to the fact that this area suffers greatly
[00:11:21] from the attacks of occupation soldiers and settlers. But
[00:11:25] imagine, Diana, that this entrance to this ruin has been
[00:11:28] closed for two years, and the occupation bulldozer that reached this place
[00:11:32] opened this earthen barrier and carried out
[00:11:36] this complex crime, and then withdrew from the place
[00:11:39] and closed the area completely. This is a message from the
[00:11:43] occupation soldiers to these unarmed citizens,
[00:11:46] steadfast and patient on their land, despite the displacement of
[00:11:51] place due to the attacks of soldiers, indeed, the attacks of
[00:11:55] settlers under the protection and guard of the occupation soldiers, who
[00:11:58] provide full cover for attacks on citizens
[00:12:01] and their public property, in addition to the fact that the occupation
[00:12:05] destroyed and cut all the power lines
[00:12:10] place, and consequently, what results from that is the destruction of
[00:12:14] water networks, and the citizens here are left homeless,
[00:12:18] and this entire area at this moment is inhabited by one
[00:12:21] family belonging to citizen Nour
[00:12:24] Idris, and the settlers who storm these areas through the settlement
[00:12:27] outposts spread in this
[00:12:31] the occupation soldiers, who provide cover, as
[00:12:34] we mentioned, for carrying out these escalating Israeli
[00:12:37] attacks here in the outskirts of the city of Hebron
[00:12:40] and in areas that citizens cannot
[00:12:43] struggle. All these matters, Diana, apply to
[00:12:47] the residential communities in
[00:12:50] This morning, the settlers attacked citizens in
[00:12:53] the Khallet al-Homs area, which is surrounded
[00:12:57] by the settlement outpost. Tomorrow, there will be
[00:13:00] the eighth stand to perform Friday prayers in this
[00:13:03] area, located between the areas of Shkara
[00:13:06] and Susiya, within the communities in Masafer Yatta, south of
[00:13:10] Hebron, to send a message to the occupation government that this
[00:13:14] land is purely Palestinian, and all these Israeli
[00:13:17] violations also apply to more than 20 residential communities in
[00:13:21] the Masafer areas, whether in the area of Rujum Ali, in
[00:13:25] the area of Khashm al-Daraj, in the area of
[00:13:27] Jenbah, and many other residential communities that are exposed
[00:13:32] the occupation soldiers and settlers. In the field situation, and specifically
[00:13:38] and daily incursions, the occupation forces that stormed the Srif
[00:13:41] area northwest of Hebron this morning arrested
[00:13:45] five citizens from the Ghnemat and al-Haih families and took them to
[00:13:49] an unknown destination, while they stormed al-Arroub refugee camp north of the city of
[00:13:52] Hebron and destroyed a vehicle belonging to one of the citizens and attacked
[00:13:56] an elderly man, who was transferred to a hospital
[00:14:00] for treatment. But in reality, what citizens suffer from,
[00:14:03] Diana, is the movement and passage between
[00:14:06] Israeli checkpoints and the frequent closures
[00:14:10] and Israeli restrictions that cut off the links of Hebron
[00:14:13] Governorate and resulted in difficulty in movement
[00:14:16] and also difficulty in dealing with medical
[00:14:20] and emergency cases.
[00:14:23] You were with us live from Hebron.
[00:14:42] forces, with large military vehicles and large numbers
[00:14:46] and military reinforcements, also storm
[00:14:49] the Qalandia refugee camp area and Kafr Aqab,
[00:14:52] north of occupied Jerusalem. And we are talking about the demolition of
[00:14:55] commercial shops. What does the scene look like for you and the latest
[00:15:08] refugee camp, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, where they closed
[00:15:11] all entrances leading to the Qalandia entrance. We are now standing at
[00:15:14] the main entrance to Qalandia
[00:15:18] Jerusalem, where the occupation forces are pushing more of
[00:15:21] the... I mean, they are
[00:15:25] now
[00:15:29] holding three young men
[00:15:32] who were passing through the main road connecting Jerusalem and Ramallah.
[00:15:35] The occupation forces are standing, as you can see in the picture,
[00:15:39] stopping passing cars, impounding
[00:15:42] them, and searching them before taking
[00:15:46] the young men to detention or allowing them
[00:15:50] to pass. Today, the situation in Qalandia refugee camp is more difficult than
[00:15:54] yesterday, as no one was allowed to leave
[00:15:56] or enter this camp. We received appeals
[00:16:00] from the residents of Qalandia camp, calling for the provision of basic
[00:16:03] necessities such as bread and water. Especially since the occupation
[00:16:08] forces are besieging all parts of the camp and not allowing anyone
[00:16:11] to leave their homes. Also, Dana, the occupation forces demolished a commercial
[00:16:14] establishment at the western entrance of Qalandia
[00:16:17] refugee camp, leveling it to the ground.
[00:16:20] They also evacuated the house of the young man Muhammad Jamil Ammar
[00:16:24] and placed some explosives and blew up
[00:16:27] parts of this house during this ongoing military campaign since
[00:16:30] yesterday on Qalandia refugee camp. Dana, this
[00:16:34] scene is continuous inside Qalandia refugee camp. We
[00:16:37] learned from eyewitnesses that the field interrogations are still
[00:16:40] ongoing, where they have turned the Popular Committee inside Qalandia camp into
[00:16:44] a field interrogation center, where they take young men and citizens
[00:16:48] and beat them and interrogate them in the field. Also, the occupation
[00:16:51] forces do not allow medical
[00:16:55] to enter Qalandia refugee camp or treat
[00:16:58] the injuries that occurred there. There are more
[00:17:02] than 11 injuries inside Qalandia
[00:17:05] refugee camp that were treated in the field. Also,
[00:17:08] Dana, there are elderly people who need
[00:17:12] to reach people with chronic diseases who need to reach
[00:17:15] nearby hospitals. The occupation forces do not allow them to enter.
[00:17:18] Yesterday, coordination was made with the Palestinian Red Crescent to transfer some chronic
[00:17:22] cases out of Qalandia refugee camp. Today,
[00:17:26] the siege on Qalandia refugee camp is more severe and more
[00:17:30] complicated,
[00:17:33] picture, they are stopping pedestrian traffic,
[00:17:37] cars, and checking the IDs of citizens, and detaining
[00:17:41] some young men at the entrance to Qalandia refugee camp, northwest of occupied
[00:17:44] Jerusalem. As we mentioned earlier,
[00:17:47] Dana, there is a plan in Qalandia refugee camp, as they say.
[00:17:51] They are placing marks. They have maps
[00:17:53] of this camp with them. They are placing marks.
[00:17:57] Occupation bulldozers entered the camp. At this moment, the picture
[00:18:00] is unclear about what is happening inside the camp due to the prevention of media teams from
[00:18:04] entering. Thank you very much, Musa
[00:19:18] safe area, a densely
[00:19:22] came, two people came
[00:19:25] to the port to breathe, because the port is the only area where people
[00:19:29] can breathe. A reconnaissance plane hit
[00:19:33] them with one missile. I mean, it tore them to pieces. I mean,
[00:19:36] you see, we can say, may God have mercy on him, because his condition
[00:19:40] is critical. Where is the ceasefire? We are telling the world, where is the ceasefire,
[00:19:43] and we have blood every day, every day we bid farewell to
[00:19:46] each
[00:19:52] other.
[00:20:38] It was an attack on the entire village by
[00:20:41] settlers, with whom they were. They were
[00:20:45] forty settlers. They came down here
[00:20:48] and left people to attack the
[00:20:51] the house, and the second group
[00:20:54] continued to the mosque and tried to burn the mosque.
[00:20:58] This tour was hostile
[00:24:52] because they started throwing stones at
[00:24:56] A few days ago, they also
[00:25:00] burned a house in the village belonging to citizen
[00:25:03] Suhaib Radwan
[00:25:05] Ramadan.
[00:25:14] The attack occurred in the area we see in the background.
[00:25:18] The shooting resulted in the death of four martyrs and four injured.
[00:26:34] resolutions. We had talked about the United Nations
[00:26:39] the last episode, as it is a gateway to
[00:26:42] our Palestinian cause and its merits. If
[00:26:46] the establishment of Israel on May 15, 1948, was a pivotal
[00:26:49] moment in the history of
[00:26:53] our Palestinian cause and a declaration of the fulfillment
[00:26:57] of the Zionist dream and its embodiment in
[00:26:59] a state 50 years after
[00:27:06] this date also politically symbolizes the Nakba of the Palestinian
[00:27:09] people, which began before it and continued after
[00:27:13] it. However, this moment, despite its importance
[00:27:17] should not be dealt with as a founding moment
[00:27:21] for the cause. Although there was a political
[00:27:24] reality established after that declaration, its
[00:27:28] social, economic,
[00:27:30] cultural, and political
[00:27:33] roots go back to decades before that date.
[00:27:36] A comprehensive reading of the Palestinian cause
[00:27:39] requires a return to the roots of the conflict,
[00:27:43] and a search for the accumulations that ended in several
[00:27:46] stages in qualitative changes, each of which created
[00:27:50] a new political, legal, and social
[00:27:54] reality. This comprehensive reading is not
[00:27:57] easy, as it requires a retroactive deconstruction
[00:28:00] of every reality that was created and the accumulations that
[00:28:04] led to it, meaning a historical
[00:28:07] and epistemological excavation. And if we are talking here about
[00:28:10] contemporary history, then the intensity of its events
[00:28:13] and the amount of propaganda that surrounded
[00:28:16] it, both friendly and hostile (I mean here),
[00:28:19] and the many changes that occurred
[00:28:22] in it, knowing them is a necessary
[00:28:25] matter to reach the comprehensive reading
[00:28:28] that we are talking about here. Let us
[00:28:32] start from May 15, 1947,
[00:28:36] when
[00:28:40] a recommendation was issued for the partition of Palestine
[00:28:43] by the UNSCOP committee. Let us listen to the
[00:28:47] details and analyze them with Dawood
[00:28:52] 15, 1947, one
[00:28:55] year before the declaration of the establishment of
[00:28:58] Israel, the United Nations
[00:29:01] General Assembly issued a resolution
[00:29:05] to form the United Nations Special
[00:29:08] Committee on Palestine
[00:29:11] by a majority of 45
[00:29:15] votes against seven votes, which were
[00:29:18] the delegates of the five Arab states that were members of
[00:29:21] the Security Council, in addition to Pakistan
[00:29:24] and Turkey. The objection of the Arab states, Turkey,
[00:29:28] and Pakistan to the formation of the committee was not
[00:29:31] without reason, as the atmosphere that
[00:29:35] preceded its formation was not reassuring,
[00:29:38] especially since the bias towards Zionist
[00:29:41] aspirations in Palestine at that
[00:29:44] time constituted a common denominator between
[00:29:46] the Eastern and Western blocs. This was reflected
[00:29:50] in the refusal of the United Nations General Assembly to include
[00:29:54] the termination of the British Mandate
[00:29:57] and the declaration of Palestine's independence on the agenda
[00:30:01] of its session. It also refused
[00:30:04] to separate the issue of Jewish
[00:30:06] refugees from the Palestinian cause, which
[00:30:10] prompted the Arab Higher Committee in Palestine
[00:30:14] to boycott the committee. Despite this,
[00:30:17] the committee arrived in Palestine
[00:30:19] and met with representatives of the Jewish Agency, led
[00:30:23] by Ben-Gurion, who addressed the committee
[00:30:27] with a racist speech, demanding a Jewish
[00:30:30] state in all of Palestine, inhabited by
[00:30:34] an Arab minority, even though Palestinian
[00:30:37] Arabs constituted two-thirds of the population
[00:30:40] at that time. The Arab
[00:30:43] states submitted a memorandum to the committee,
[00:30:47] in which they considered that the only solution that
[00:30:50] would provide security the region was
[00:30:54] the establishment of an independent government in which Arabs
[00:30:58] and Jews would enjoy their constitutional
[00:31:00] rights. The committee also received
[00:31:04] a memorandum from the Arab Higher
[00:31:07] Committee through the Arab states, confirming
[00:31:09] what was stated in the project of the Arab states that was submitted to Britain
[00:31:13] at the London Conference in 1946, demanding a Palestinian
[00:31:16] state, not an Arab state,
[00:31:20] and recognizing the Jews' right
[00:31:23] to one-third in the Constituent Assembly and in
[00:31:26] all affairs of the country. In the end, the committee
[00:31:29] recommended, by a majority of its members,
[00:31:32] the partition of Palestine into two states,
[00:31:34] Jewish and Arab,
[00:31:38] while the minority recommended a united
[00:31:40] state. The recommendation of the majority was consistent
[00:31:44] with the proposal of the Peel Commission in 1937
[00:31:47] regarding the principle of partition, but differed
[00:31:50] with it in the borders of the two states.
[00:31:54] Yes, Dawood, they disagreed on the borders
[00:31:56] of the two states, but they were united in their bias towards the
[00:32:00] aspirations and ambitions of the Zionists. For that
[00:32:03] reason, a UN committee with special
[00:32:06] tasks was formed to discuss the recommendation of the
[00:32:10] committee. And after several
[00:32:13] deliberations, it concluded
[00:32:16] by adopting the partition recommendation
[00:32:19] by a majority of its members. However,
[00:32:21] because the majority's proposal did not achieve two-thirds of the votes,
[00:32:25] the proposal was referred to the General Assembly, where American
[00:32:29] pressure was exerted on a number of countries that were
[00:32:33] planning to abstain from voting to change
[00:32:36] their position, and eight of them changed their position
[00:32:40] to approve
[00:32:43] Arab countries tried to present a draft
[00:32:45] resolution that would accept a federal state
[00:32:48] and withdraw their previous demand for an Arab state
[00:32:51] in Palestine, but they failed to bring
[00:32:54] it to a vote due to American pressure on member
[00:32:58] states. In the end, the General
[00:33:01] Assembly issued its Resolution
[00:33:04] 181, which called for the partition of Palestine
[00:33:07] with the support of
[00:33:09] 33 countries, including the United States and the Soviet
[00:33:13] Union, with 13 countries objecting
[00:33:17] and ten countries abstaining
[00:33:20] from the vote. As for the details and text of this
[00:33:25] we will hear and follow it with Maysa.
[00:33:29] The United Nations General Assembly held a special
[00:33:33] session to form a special
[00:33:36] committee and assign it the task of preparing to consider
[00:33:40] the issue of an independent Palestinian government in the second regular
[00:33:43] session. The committee was tasked with investigating all
[00:33:46] matters and issues related to the Palestinian
[00:33:50] cause and preparing the necessary proposals.
[00:33:53] The committee put forward a number of social
[00:33:56] recommendations an economic union,
[00:34:00] which was approved by the majority of the committee, considering
[00:34:03] اتحاد اقتصادي اقرته اكثريه
[00:34:07] The current situation in
[00:34:11] Palestine is likely to cause harm to the public interest
[00:34:15] and friendly relations between nations. This came
[00:34:18] simultaneously with the declaration of the British
[00:34:21] Mandate that it seeks
[00:34:26] the first of August 1948.
[00:34:28] 1948.
[00:34:32] The resolution, which bore the number
[00:34:35] 181, stated that the United
[00:34:38] Kingdom recommends, in its capacity as
[00:34:41] the mandatory power over Palestine, and all
[00:34:45] members of the United Nations to adopt the partition
[00:34:48] and economic union project. The resolution also
[00:34:52] that the Security Council shall take
[00:34:56] the necessary measures as outlined
[00:34:58] in the plan for its
[00:35:01] implementation.
[00:35:04] The Security Council shall consider whether the situation in
[00:35:07] Palestine constitutes a threat to peace.
[00:35:10] If the Security
[00:35:13] a threat exists, it shall, in order to
[00:35:17] maintain international peace and security, add to the mandate
[00:35:20] of the General Assembly to take measures
[00:35:23] that grant the United Nations Commission
[00:35:26] the authority to carry out
[00:35:29] in Palestine the tasks
[00:35:32] resolution, in accordance with Articles
[00:35:36] 39
[00:35:39] the Charter. The Security Council shall consider
[00:35:43] any attempt to change the settlement contained
[00:35:47] in this resolution by force a threat
[00:35:50] to peace, a breach of peace, or an act
[00:35:53] of aggression, in accordance with Article
[00:35:58] the Charter. The Security Council shall inform the Trusteeship Council
[00:36:01] of its responsibilities under this plan.
[00:36:05] It calls upon the people of Palestine to take
[00:36:08] the necessary steps to implement this
[00:36:12] plan. It appeals to all governments
[00:36:15] and peoples to refrain from taking any
[00:36:18] action that may impede these
[00:36:21] recommendations or delay
[00:36:23] their implementation. It authorizes the Secretary-General to cover
[00:36:27] the travel and living expenses of the
[00:36:30] committee members, consisting of one representative from each
[00:36:34] of five member states, and the General
[00:36:37] Assembly shall elect the members
[00:36:40] the committee on the broadest possible basis,
[00:36:44] geographically and non-geographically,
[00:36:48] the basis and manner it deems
[00:36:51] appropriate in these circumstances.
[00:36:54] And to provide the committee with the necessary staff
[00:36:59] carrying out the tasks assigned
[00:37:02] to it by the General Assembly. The General
[00:37:05] Assembly authorizes the Secretary-General to withdraw an amount
[00:37:08] from the Working Capital exceeding
[00:37:12] two million
[00:37:17] the last paragraph of the resolution
[00:37:21] regarding the independent government of Palestine. So,
[00:37:24] the Zionist project was able to mobilize significant
[00:37:27] international support for the establishment of its
[00:37:30] state in Palestine, even bringing together
[00:37:34] the two opposing sides at that time, the Soviets
[00:37:37] and the Americans, each with their different
[00:37:40] political interests in the establishment of Israel.
[00:37:44] So, how did it
[00:37:46] achieve that? There was the
[00:37:50] Sykes-Picot Agreement, that is, in April
[00:37:54] and May 1916,
[00:37:57] between Britain and France, with the knowledge of
[00:38:00] Tsarist Russia. Then there was the Balfour Declaration
[00:38:04] on November 2, 1917. And that led to the
[00:38:07] occupation of our lands by Britain on December 9, 1917.
[00:38:09] And on July
[00:38:13] 24, 1922, the British Mandate
[00:38:17] was imposed. It is said, and this is
[00:38:21] a fact, that the Zionist movement formulated
[00:38:26] In Article 2 of the Mandate,
[00:38:29] that is, from the text of the Mandate, there is a direct
[00:38:32] provision that the mandatory state
[00:38:36] shall assist
[00:38:39] the Zionist movement in establishing a national
[00:38:43] home in Palestine. And in Article
[00:38:45] 4, there is also a provision
[00:38:48] that Britain, as the mandatory
[00:38:52] state, shall assist and consult and provide
[00:38:56] advice and
[00:38:59] support to the Jewish Agency in
[00:39:01] our lands. And then,
[00:39:05] there was the historical development until
[00:39:08] we reached the partition resolution. What I wanted to
[00:39:11] say is that with this
[00:39:14] strategic relationship and with this history, the Zionist
[00:39:18] movement was able to be
[00:39:20] an actor and to have an effect and a strategic
[00:39:24] relationship with the major powers regarding the Soviet
[00:39:27] Union specifically. The Soviet Union,
[00:39:30] first, there were close
[00:39:34] relations between the Zionist movement and its
[00:39:37] leaders with the Soviet Union, as
[00:39:41] the leaders of the movement,
[00:39:45] in the Soviet Union, played a role in strengthening the relationship between
[00:39:49] the Zionist movement on one hand, and
[00:39:52] the Soviet Union on the
[00:39:53] other.
[00:44:49] The important thing is that the Zionist movement was able
[00:44:52] to convince the Soviet Union and its leadership at the time
[00:44:56] of Stalin that
[00:45:00] collective work and its adoption, in inverted
[00:45:03] commas, of communist or socialist
[00:45:07] ideology, this led the Soviet Union, for its
[00:45:10] own interests, to want there to be
[00:45:13] a young state in the Middle East that would be
[00:45:17] an extension of the Soviet Union's socialism. In addition
[00:45:21] to that, there was an Israeli Communist
[00:45:23] Party, and this party
[00:45:27] adopted Marxist
[00:45:30] ideas. Consequently, the Soviets saw that
[00:45:35] recognize the occupation state and to
[00:45:38] vote in
[00:45:41] Union pressured some
[00:45:45] socialist countries at that stage to
[00:45:48] vote in favor of the partition resolution.
[00:45:51] Regarding the West, its interests also
[00:45:55] coincided with those of the Zionist movement, primarily regarding settlement
[00:45:59] and colonization. There was an alignment of views. However,
[00:46:03] the United States of America, especially President Truman, who
[00:46:06] played an important role in ensuring
[00:46:09] a larger and more
[00:46:13] favorable vote for the partition resolution in the United Nations,
[00:46:16] did so because they believed that
[00:46:20] Israel would be the long arm of the West and the United
[00:46:23] States in protecting their strategic
[00:46:26] interests in the region, especially since it is a region
[00:46:30] that has, first of all, oil,
[00:46:32] and there are
[00:46:36] other
[00:46:39] natural resources in addition
[00:46:42] to oil. In addition to that,
[00:46:45] there is the issue of trade and the flow
[00:46:48] of commercial traffic, especially since there is a unique
[00:46:52] geographical location for the
[00:46:55] region that connects different continents. However,
[00:46:59] the most important thing is that Israel
[00:47:02] would be the long arm of the United States
[00:47:05] and the West to prevent any Arab renaissance project
[00:47:09] and to prevent any Arab unity,
[00:47:13] and also to prevent geographical contiguity between
[00:47:17] Egypt
[00:47:20] Therefore, in the beginning, it was known
[00:47:23] as a functional state, a state
[00:47:27] for protecting Western interests and the long
[00:47:32] States and the West in the region.
[00:47:35] The West also had another motive, which was
[00:47:39] to atone, in inverted commas, for its sins
[00:47:43] and to atone for the persecution
[00:47:46] of Jews in Germany and other European countries,
[00:47:50] especially since Jews were ostracized in
[00:47:53] those areas. Therefore, the West, through its
[00:47:56] mouthpiece, wanted to reward the Zionist
[00:47:59] movement by establishing a national home for them in
[00:48:02] our lands. On the other hand, what
[00:48:06] efforts and positions did the Arab
[00:48:09] and Islamic countries, the natural strategic
[00:48:13] depth of the Palestinian
[00:48:15] people, play? The Arabs
[00:48:18] tried through cooperation,
[00:48:21] that is, through serious work with representatives of the Palestinian
[00:48:25] people, whether the Higher Committee
[00:48:28] or the Arab Higher Committee. But unfortunately,
[00:48:30] the Arabs were
[00:48:34] against this international position, especially as
[00:48:37] I said, the United States and its Western
[00:48:40] allies, all of them without exception, and also
[00:48:44] the Soviet Union, and
[00:48:46] what it also represented politically at the international
[00:48:49] level in the socialist bloc, which also
[00:48:52] voted, with the exception of Czechoslovakia,
[00:48:55] by the way, and the state
[00:48:59] that went to Palestine with 11
[00:49:02] states, which were it, India,
[00:49:06] and Iran, which opposed the partition
[00:49:09] resolution. In addition, we had eight countries
[00:49:12] supporting the partition resolution, and in the vote,
[00:49:15] there was an overwhelming international position.
[00:49:18] The Arabs were certainly opposed
[00:49:22] and tried, but the Arab efforts did not succeed,
[00:49:26] especially since some Arab countries
[00:49:29] were young and newly independent,
[00:49:32] and they did not have that presence,
[00:49:37] this resolution passing despite the Arabs
[00:49:40] in the United Nations. This was not the
[00:49:44] Palestinian struggle, but the Palestinian struggle
[00:49:48] began much earlier when the first
[00:49:50] settlement was established on our
[00:49:54] lands in 1887, which was the
[00:49:56] Malbas settlement, or what is called
[00:49:59] the Key of Hope in Arabic. From there,
[00:50:03] the Palestinian struggle began and continued. The Balfour
[00:50:06] Declaration, the Mandate, in 1929,
[00:50:09] we had the Buraq Revolution and what followed in
[00:50:13] the early thirties, the revolution of the martyr
[00:50:17] Izz al-Din al-Qassam, and then the historical
[00:50:20] strike of six months or
[00:50:23] ten days, and what followed from
[00:50:26] serious Palestinian positions and
[00:50:29] serious Palestinian struggle. But unfortunately,
[00:50:32] there was also an Arab
[00:50:36] position that led to convincing
[00:50:39] the Palestinian leadership and the leadership of the
[00:50:42] Palestinian masses of the necessity
[00:50:45] of stopping the historical strike. And from
[00:50:49] that date, there was the first Arab
[00:50:53] intervention, which led to the Palestinian
[00:50:56] position retreating at that time. Zionist immigration
[00:50:59] was at its peak. There was
[00:51:03] more settlement building
[00:51:05] and Zionist presence on our lands. Our lands
[00:51:09] were being eaten up.
[00:51:13] The Zionist gangs,
[00:51:16] from Stern to the Haganah
[00:51:19] to Etzel and other Zionist
[00:51:23] groups, were being
[00:51:26] armed. The Mandate
[00:51:30] and the British policy
[00:51:33] of repression were building and empowering the
[00:51:37] Zionist movement, building the Israeli
[00:51:41] Jewish institution on our lands. Our situation
[00:51:43] was at its worst, a result
[00:51:47] of the British position and Western
[00:51:51] support, and the British support,
[00:51:54] which led to
[00:51:57] the Palestinian position at that
[00:52:01] time being a weak position.
[00:52:06] many Arab countries did
[00:52:10] not have a serious position regarding
[00:52:13] what was happening, which led
[00:52:16] to the declaration of the establishment of the occupation state through
[00:52:20] the United Nations. Despite what we presented in this episode
[00:52:24] in terms of facts, locations, and texts,
[00:52:27] we did not give the resolution and its
[00:52:30] details their due. So, let's continue with
[00:52:34] you, dear viewers, Resolution 181
[00:52:36] in the next episode. More information
[00:52:40] and details that we may hear for the
[00:52:44] first time. Until then, goodbye.
[00:53:30] We were expecting to leave the camp.
[00:53:33] There were raids in the camp.
[00:53:43] It's not the first displacement that we've been displaced from
[00:53:46] one area to another, from one area to another.
[00:54:14] The settlement here has been going on for almost a year
[00:54:18] and a half. They have confiscated almost 50% or more of the lands
[00:54:21] of the Eastern, Southern, and Eastern
[00:54:25] and Northeastern
[00:54:26] region.
[00:54:43] citizens on a
[00:54:46] constant and continuous basis. The goal of the settlers
[00:54:49] in this attack is to abandon the sheep and prevent people from going to their land.
[00:55:21] One News, welcome. The presidency condemned the ongoing Israeli
[00:55:25] aggression against Qalandia camp and the crimes
[00:55:29] committed by the occupation army against our people,
[00:55:31] which include raids and arrests, which
[00:55:35] resulted in the arrest of 50 citizens so far,
[00:55:38] and the demolition of homes and commercial shops,
[00:55:41] and the destruction of property, and the prevention of ambulance
[00:55:46] humanitarian duty, and the siege imposed on the
[00:55:49] camp, in flagrant violation of international law
[00:55:53] and international conventions. The presidency affirmed that
[00:55:56] what Qalandia camp is being subjected to comes within the framework of a systematic Israeli plan targeting Palestinian refugee camps.
